Motor-sickle Racing (MX/SX, GNCC, MotoGP, Hard Enduro, SBK, etc)

I was riding at Kanuga one day and ran into her. I don't really follow motor sickle stuff so I had no idea who she was. Later found out she has had over 80 national podiums since coming to the US in 2019 with well over 40 1st place wins. Really cool and down to earth kid.

I can’t believe Sexton pushed to get Webb when he didn’t need to. I think he wanted to catch and pass him to make a statement, and it really backfired.

The real Haiden Deegan showed up last night, and he showed incredible maturity taking 2nd in the last race instead of trying to chase down Davies.

One of his handlers must have convinced him to shut up and ride ( if only our president would hire whoever that was). He's by far the fastest on that track, like Sexton he's his own worst enemy. I wanted Roczen to win, but I'll settle on a sneaky Webb win.

Nobody is too surprised. Finding a sponsor that late was going to be hard

Good news is most of those races will still happen. Just won’t be fim and a series.

Good points. Hopefully they are still televised and decently produced. Erzberg Rodeo especially. I look forward to the ridiculousness of it every year.

and KR gets 2nd for round 2 of GNCC!

Stu needs to pick up the pace, got 9th this time and DNF first round I believe.

Not sure what set Stu behind so much yesterday. I need to re-watch as I only caught about until lap 2 before I left the shop and lost service and at that point he was moving forward. Two races in and he's not even in the top 20 in overall points and 9th in XC1. The overall/class points thing is wild though. BK is overall points leader. Girroir is 1st in XC1.

"I felt like I maybe found a new level of riding last night."
I mean I guess that's one way to phrase it?

Any update on what happened with Sexton? My theory at this point is that he is intentionally sandbagging. Can't have championship pressure if youre not in the running for the championship, right? :D

Here’s my theory. Sexton has the biggest hog in the series. Because he steps on that thing every damn weekend.
 
Man, that drop in pace at the end of the race by Sexton left everyone wondering WFT is going on? I heard on the PulpMX review show that he was spotted in the pits after the heat race crash standing around talking with his team and looked fine, was acting normal. VERY weird.

Cooper was coming for Roczen, but bobbled and lost his flow. Without that bobble, I think he would have caught and passed him.

It just nice to see Webb being fairly fast everywhere instead of faster through the rhythms and corners, then losing his ass through the whoops. The KTM was NOT working for him in the whoops. Now he doesn't have to push as hard everywhere else to make up for it. He may not have the ridiculous burst of speed like we've seen Tomac/Jett/Sexton pull out, but he's a top contender again and not just having to win by grinding through and waiting for everyone else to slow down at the end.
 
100% agree on everything you said. I like RC a lot, but in the booth he is just ok on a good day. Blair, Weege, and Stewart are all great. I like Jason Thomas a lot too. Leigh Diffy is the worst of them all. He’s not knowledgeable and he doesn’t have any personal experience in the sport. He sounds like somebody they found for a fill in because the “real guy” didn’t show up.

Leigh Diffy sucks as an announcer.

And I’d take James over rc all day long. Loved see DB in the booth. Should be DB and Weege and get rid of RC and Diffy

Agreed for but for the love of god please take the mike from Will Christien. That voice is like nails on a chalkboard, I can't imagine signing up to listen to that for the rest of my life. My condolences to whoever did or does.


I really hope Kenny can stay in the hunt, but I love watching Webb win too. Both of them were riding so "mid" the past few years, it's great to watch the "old guys" turn it up.
